    I have been without my radio for over 2 weeks. I get sound so they say they will refresh signal. After 5 days they escalated call. I say call at 5 pm as I will be at work till then. They call at 430. It's been very frustrating. I've been on hold right now once again for over 10 min.

    Try cancelling. You'll be on the phone for 30 minutes where they will do everything but what you request. Then they take their sweet time in hopes that you'll give up and hang up. Service is not worth it.

    I cannot recommend this company based on the difficulty involved in canceling one’s subscription. There’s no way to do it on their site, you literally have to CALL and wait for a rep to discuss with you and try to talk you out of it! There is absolutely no way to cancel your paid subscription other than this way I could find. I wonder how difficult it is for those with disabilities or special needs!? 2) Their site would not allow me to remove my PAYMENT METHOD. They said it would be deleted when my subscription expires. Adding this to the list of companies I have NO plans to ever give $$ to for any reason.

The subscription is not compatible with my car and I've been paying for something that I am not using and twice now I've tried to cancel and they keep you on the line for well over 30 minutes and counting....Yes I am currently on hold now as I write this review.

    I didn’t realize but I’ve been getting charged twice a month for the past six months or more. I just thought the charges posted early for the next month but then actually looking at my statements I’m charged twice. I called in they said, "Oh no, so are you only have one account." I said, "But I’m getting charged twice." They said, "No. No you’re not." I sent them my Visa statement proof and they’re still denying it and I said, "Well how can you explain why you’re charging me twice a month," and we said there’s nothing they can do about it.

I have the same model car and was kept on a message for over an hour and given a complete run around. I was subjected to insults and rudeness, but they would not give me the same deal. How is that equitable? Their customer service stinks! I have cancelled my subscription after being a loyal customer for 10 years. I regret giving this company the first dime.

    I purchased a 2024 BMW which comes with complimentary SiriusXM for one year. I transferred my service from my 2021 which was supposed to resume after my one year complimentary service expired. I have all of the emails with confirmation and the Radio ID. A customer service agent canceled my account. I called in twice to have it resolved. SiriusXM is telling me they can’t restore the service they unilaterally cancelled. Then they give me 3 mo complimentary service while they figure out their mistake.

    2 weeks later they randomly canceled my service again. When I called they are trying to force me to pay to reactivate my service— that is FREE. Customer service is poor and they either can’t comprehend or just read from a script. I spoke to someone who claimed to be a manager who said I’d get a letter in 7-10 days to restore my service. I never received any letter and they just cut off my service. Fortunately, I saved the emails and screenshots of the messages because they wiped and closed the entire account. Awful company and service. We will be canceling it on our second BMW as well.

After I was alerted that there was a charge of 1/3 of the yearly amount for just one month, I tried to cancel online. 'Sorry, we have encountered an error, please try back later' was displayed.

    I had 2 months left on a subscription when I purchased a new car in 11/22 - that balance was supposed to be added on to my new 2023 car. I refused to give them a credit card for my free trial and after 10 minutes on the phone while I was at the dealership and threatening to cancel the sale of the car, Sirius finally gave me my free trial without a credit card. In November 2023 the service was shut off. I had received special offer details and called to see how to pay without a credit card and was told that they only accept Sirius gift cards. I went to BestBuy purchased a gift card for the yearly amount in cash, came home and could not use it without a credit card! I called Sirius and they tried to tell that I could only use the gift if I wanted to pay $30 a month vs $6 a month! I was livid! I was under the impression he had rectified the issue at that time.

    When my car was stolen a week later I went to cancel the subscription since I did not have a new car yet. That's when I found out they had given me 3 months free and that my gift card had never gone through. I just spent another 45 minutes on the phone with me telling them I wanted a refund. They will not do that but they will apply the gift card to my new car which I have a free trial until 2/25 but at the premium rate. BestBuy won't take the gift card back because it is past the 30 days. If I had known on 12/19/23 that it had not been used for the year at the lower rate I would have returned it. Now I am stuck with this $80 gift card! I have so many issues with Sirius over the years that if it didn't come free with the vehicle I would not have it! Even when it is free you are paying too much!

    I signed up for a free 3 month trial but the radio ID they sent me was wrong. I called and had it corrected. When my trial expired, I cancelled it but was charged 2 more months. When I tried using their chat I was given all kinds of nonsense how it was the bank's error or a phishing scam.. After nearly an hour on the chat, the representative FINALLY asked for my radio ID at that time they realized they had accidentally created a second account for me instead of changing my radio ID. While their service is adequate, if expensive, their customer service is lacking in every single way.

    I don't know how I ended up with an account with them. Canceled immediately when I saw the charge. Was told I had to wait 3-5 business days for my refund. Didn't give me the full refund and within the same day they took the money back out of my account. Gave me the difference for the full charge after complaining and that was just taken back out of my account.

    Currently been on the phone now for almost a half hour back and forth on hold over this telling me I'll have to wait another 3-5 business days potentially. Also told me there's a check option to be mailed to me. That they sometimes do that and maybe that's why the charge was taken back out. That maybe it's my bank's fault. It is not. Never in my life have I ever dealt with such horrific customer service and people. Don't sign up. Don't accidentally click their site. Nothing. Avoid this company at all costs.

    I wish I could give Sirius XM zero stars, because that's exactly what they deserve after my horrendous experience with their service. For the past 13 months, I've been unknowingly hemorrhaging money to them for a service I never signed up for or used. It's the kind of nightmare you'd expect from a shady operation, not a supposedly reputable company.

    First off, their billing system is an absolute mess. Somehow, they managed to link my card to an account that doesn't even belong to me. Despite multiple attempts to rectify the situation, they continued to debit my account without my consent or authorization. It's bad enough to make an honest mistake, but to compound it by refusing to refund my hard-earned money is downright disgraceful.

    Their customer service is equally appalling. Instead of taking responsibility for their error and promptly issuing a refund, they offered a half-baked solution that does nothing to compensate for the financial burden they've placed on me. Their idea of resolution? Cancelling the service of the individual whose account was erroneously linked to mine and removing my card details from their system. But what about the money they've essentially stolen from me? Apparently, that's not their concern.

    Sirius XM's lack of accountability and disregard for their customers' rights is utterly unacceptable. It's clear that they prioritize their bottom line over basic principles of fairness and integrity. Save yourself the headache and avoid Sirius XM at all costs. There are plenty of other legitimate and ethical companies out there that actually value their customers and provide the service they promise. Sirius XM is not one of them.

    I had a free trial. I tried to cancel online a few days before the free trial ended. Impossible. You have to call Customer "Care" (who don't care). Unless you record the call you have no verification of what was said and they refuse to send a verification email. They pressure you like mad to sign up and keep putting you on hold. 25 minutes later they told me I had successfully cancelled. I got my credit card statement on January 20. There were two charges from Siriusxm 16.85 and 16.85 both posted on January 7 when the free trial that I cancelled ended. I have spent over two and a half hours over two days trying to sort it out. Impossible.

    The supervisor finally verified I did cancel but was adamant they only charged me once not twice and they would only credit me for 16.85. She told me to call my credit card company. I then tried chat-that took another 30 minutes and he couldn't help and said someone would call me back within 48 hours. I will have to go through my credit card company instead. Never again will I deal with Sirius XM. Horrible company. It should be against the law to make it difficult for a consumer to cancel.

    I purchased this service to get a good music signal anywhere I traveled within the mountains of Colorado. The service was great. I have such a difficult time when companies think that you don't know what you want. They provide a service. I get to choose if I want to continue their service. Simple as that. When I went to cancel, I went to their webpage. Very difficult to find out how to cancel the service. So I started a chat, which led to redundant questioning, in addition to reoffering better deals.

    After 45 minutes, I thought I had success. Months later I reviewed a statement on a cc I wanted to cancel. Come to find out my service was never cancelled. I had to repeat the whole process! I also notice a huge increase in phone solicitations from Sirius! Wow! Borderline harrassment. They do not respect the customer. Kind of sad.

    I tried for over an hour to cancel my subscription before the rate hike of 400%. Their website says you can cancel through the online account. That is inaccurate. You start on their website but need to be transferred to an agent. It is 15-20 minutes before an agent logs on. Then it appears the agent is working with multiple customers so their responses are very slow. The wrong information is sent to the wrong customers including wrong acct numbers and credit card numbers. Then after over 30 minutes into the chat when I made it very clear I did not want to negotiate the price the agent left the chat and I was told a new agent would help me. Finally after about an hour I believe my account is closed. That remains to be seen.

    I have kept a SiriusXM subscription on my wife's car since we got it back in 2016. They auto-renew at very high prices (2-3 times higher). So every year I contact them to "manually" renew it. This year I was "late" in responding to the renewal emails so they got to charge me the inflated price for a couple of months. I contacted them and they were supposed to bill me ONE TIME for the annual subscription at the reasonable rate. Instead they're billing me at the monthly rate.

    I attempted to get this corrected via their "chat" but Mika was of zero help (actually less than zero if there is such a thing). Taking very extended times to respond back to any questions I asked. After getting to the point of complete frustration I terminated the chat, logged into my credit card account and disputed the charges from SiriusXM. I would caution everyone with a SiriusXM account to watch it closely. Inflated charges, double payments. Poor (non-existent) customer service.

    The actual Radio Service when it works is just fine. The problem is that periodically they send out channel updates that break things. I had a preset channel, 105, so there's a favorite in my car radio. No issues for the longest time. An update comes out and I can no longer get this channel. I should mention that I still get channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 106, 107, 108, you get the point. The only Channel missing is 105.

    After four phone calls to technical support and multiple attempts to get a refresh they passed my case over to senior technical level advisors. You obviously don't get to talk to these people but they never replied after 3 days. I left them a message to contact me back and I received an email from corporate Solutions team. They gave me a call as well and I spoke to them. Their answer was my radio is too old and it was the radios fault that I could not get this one channel. How more ridiculous could this ever be. If channel 105 was never available on my radio there would be no way I could set it as a favorite or preset. I explained this to them and although she agreed with me, she said that's what she was supposed to tell me as provided by their technical support team.

    In reality, they simply don't want to send out a new patch. As it turns out many people are missing this channel. I understand that it would cost them time and money to put a patch together to make sure that this went out to everybody but aren't we paying our bills on a monthly or annual basis. Shouldn't we receive the channels that we've contracted for. In my opinion we should. In their opinion I guess not. In my opinion this is an absolute Lie by the company. Highly offensive and if I could go a different route I absolutely would. Unfortunately they have a monopoly on satellite radio.

    I have tried to cancel my SiriusXM subscription, and it requires a chat with agent, "In order to complete this transaction, we need you to speak to a live agent. Please click below to begin your conversation." The agent will not come to the chat for some time and if and when they do, they will not immediately help. They will promote a variety of offerings and still not cancel. You need patience, it took me 2 hours via chat for the process to complete.

    Minutes ago, I requested the cancellation of promotional services once the offer ends. The agents offered me a numbers of promotional offers which I decline. While taking my child to school I notice that I only had ** radio stations and a majority of the other stations were unavailable that I previously had. I desire all stations restored until my promotion ends, as expressed earlier. Being unresponsive was the reason he gave for his cancellation tactics, however it was plainly racist motivated and final. They purposefully make cancellations difficult for people in general and ** people specifically.

    I recently bought a new vehicle in September. It came with the option to do a 3 month trial of Sirius XM. I did not activate this because I had 0 interest in Sirius XM, and because I already pay for and use Spotify. Fast forward a week and the calls start. It would range between 1-2 calls a week, to 2-3 calls a day. They would call at all sorts of hours. They would even call late at night, 1am, 3am, 12am. I told them constantly I wasn’t interested in the trial as there was no reason for me to use it and I wasn’t interested. I also asked them to please quit calling me as it was getting out of hand and more than annoying.

    I finally thought that I was free of the harassment and then I start getting the calls of my trial is running out and that the have deals. One of them started me on the trial anyways after I told them no multiple times! I continue to tell them no I’m not interested and to please stop calling, and hopefully after tonight’s phone call they’ll leave me alone and actually put me on the do not call list. They sit and try to harass you into using their service.

    I'm sorry I joined SiriusXM due to their dishonest representatives. My family was in a car accident that took us to the ER and subsequently we needed operations and our car was totaled after 6 months of repair. We had paid yearly and Sirusxm renewed automatically. The rep authorized $198 refund. A week later, no notes can be found. No refund will be coming. So don't do business with a business that can't stand behind their word. I promised to never join with our new car. At $25/math, that $198 will be surpassed quickly. I'd rather sing to myself than give them another dime.

When I chat with an agent, respond was super slow and the agent kept asking confusion questions although I clearly stated multiple times that I didn’t use or had a need for the service. The conversation Took nearly 30 minutes to finish. During the chat session, connection was re-established several times even though my internet connection was fine the whole time. At the end, their system connected me to another agent and the new agent kept asking similar questions.

    My wife had SiriusXM subscription that came with the free trial then sign up with a new car. After several years having the service, she was complaining that it didn't work half the time and was constantly having to restart the service. Since we usually stream audio on our smart phones, she decided it wasn't worth having the subscription so she decided to cancel.

    SiriusXM has very nefarious cancellation policies. You are required to call to cancel your subscription. When you call, you will be bombarded with strong arm high pressure sales tactics to keep you in the service. If you try to just cancel the credit card they are using, they will forward your information to a collection agency. Bottom line, they make it very difficult to cancel the service once you're hooked into it. It literally felt like being part of a computer scam where once they get your money, they'll do anything to keep you on the hook. We will absolutely NEVER EVER again subscribe to SiriusXM for this.

I don’t know what’s happened within the last year, but I was less than impressed with listener care and their condescending attitudes.

First you have to navigate their help page to find out that they only accept cancellations if you call their customer service line. When you finally get through to an operator he tries to give a sales pitch for alternative services and you have to fight him to just cancel. Very negative experience.

This past week I received a withdrawal from my account for a monthly fee of $12.94. I contacted customer service and was told that I am on a monthly plan. They refused to acknowledge I have always paid yearly. They wouldn't look at the transcript conversation I had with Rep in June. I requested to cancel my service since they were now going to charge me monthly after paying for a one year subscription in June 2023. Their refund was ONLY $21. So no refund for the recent charge of $12.94 and no refund for the 9 months remaining on the 12 month subscription. I have disputed with my bank.

    Sirius offers bogus promos which are not shown on their website in order to scam listeners. They tell you the promo is only good if you use your debit or credit card. Then you are told your credit card will be charged automatic monthly fees which could increase without warning. My purpose for contacting Sirius was to downgrade my account from the premium rate I was being charged to a less expensive subscription. That was when I was offered their scam rate of $93.00 for one year if I use my debit or credit card. However, in 2024, I will be looking at nearly $300 for a downgraded subscription. I immediately terminated my subscription.

    A few days later I was contacted by a so-called customer care rep who tried to make me believe it was the customer care agent's fault, and I could have used a personal check to pay the entire subscription. I then received another bogus scam promo in the mail for only $6 per month, and they would even waive the $15 reactivation fee. The fine print again indicated the scam is only good if I use my debit or credit card which will be charged monthly taxes and fees which could increase without warning. It boggles the mind how this service can continue to scam listeners with bogus promos in order to grab your debit or credit card. When I asked about the 'Music Showcase' package that was less expensive, I was told those packages were basically garbage. After 5 years of this crap, I am done with Sirius.

    I had Sirius on my old truck from the day I bought it. When I sold the truck, I cancelled the account.

When I called to investigate, I was told that I had a second vehicle on the account and the charges were for it. They correctly identified my wife's vehicle and said the charges were for it.

    First, we never renewed my wife's vehicle after the free trial expired, and were no longer able to access sirius on that vehicle since that expiration. Second, we were never informed of any charges or subscriptions for that vehicle until after I called to cancel and paid off the subscription for my truck. Third, when I told them to cancel my account and they confirmed they had, they kept the account open to start charging us for the vehicle we never subscribed for. Whole thing is fishy and I would recommend to anyone to stay away from this company, even the "free trials" that might be offered.

I see a lot of negative reviews about Sirius XM but I only have good things to say about them. It got way too expensive for me so I had an offer to pay 6 dollars and change each month for 1 year before it got bumped up to 23 dollars again. I only listen to 1 channel and that's it so I want to pay as little as possible. A couple of times I had to call after a year and get pressured to pay more money for other subscriptions. I always say, "No, I don't want that, give me the 1 year for 6 dollars a month", and they keep coming back after a brief hold and slowly work their way down to my price. That's really irritating.

    My following year was up, and I called and spoke with Dan **, and he was very pleasant, well spoken, and actually sounded like a very genuine person. I told him about the 1 year subscription and what I wanted and he immediately helped me out and made me feel comfortable and happy to be speaking with him. He got me the subscription back and didn't pressure me, and was very kind. It may not seem like much, but it's people like him that make it a pleasure to do business with sirius xm.

I found this out 2 days later in an email. I then called again, and she said the extra I was charged was for traffic. I didn't ask for traffic.

I then said I wanted to get to the bottom of the thievery, and she kept repeating that she would fix it. I then asked to speak to someone on the corporate level to which she told me she did not have the number but finally gave me the number to Chuck, the account supervisor. I told him as I kept looking at my bill the price breakdown didn't add up.

    The bill stated that traffic was 23.94 and there was a travel link listed that was 11.94 and their lineup just didn't add up (35.88). He then told me he would refund me 38.04 and then asked me if that would be ok. After all this deceit, I told him no, and to just cancel my order. Then I went out that weekend in my car and found out he had cancelled my old subscription that I was supposed to have until March 20, 2023. So, today, March 6, 2023 I called once again to see why my Sirius (that I already paid for) can't be used. He told me that when you order a new subscription, it starts right away.

A pitiful way to treat any customer, but abusing Veterans is especially onerous, especially when other companies can verify a veteran's status in minutes and offer the discount they advertise. Finding anyone who cares there has been futile.

    I do not like the tricks. I signed up for 4 months of satellite, followed by a monthly service charge beginning in April. I knew it would be great in the vehicle but I received 2 weeks and then it was only streaming service which I cannot use. In vehicle was cut off. I was told the 2 weeks in my vehicle was just a courtesy... Trying to explain this to someone is just frustrating as they don't really seem to care. So the bonus Sirius service I received for my purchase in another store - smoke and mirrors trying to get me to sign up for the monthly service in my vehicle. I told them to cancel my card. Some Merry Christmas from that company.

    Sirius XM is are one step away from being grifters. The service packages go up every year without warning, not much but a little every year. The available channels decrease a little every year. Trying to cancel the service is almost impossible. The representatives talk in circles and rather than cancelling my account they tried to set me up with a new second account. I finally had to cancel the credit card and block all charges. It's a shame because I do enjoy the service but not enough to put up with the constant scams. If they would just sell what they advertise and not try to sneak in extra charges I would probably keep the service.

After 3 years of having to call and complain and be on the phone for almost an hour, I decided that the stress just wasn't worth it. I asked them repeatedly to just give me the 'so called' deal of the day and save me the grief of calling but they wouldn't so I'm done with them!! Buyer beware..Really bad sales tactics!

    The service came with my car when I purchased the vehicle. They didn't have my payment information so when it ended, it ended. I got an offer to renew the service at 4.99 per month for 12 months. I immediately regretted it. The channels still play commercials, the DJs are terrible, the app doesn't work half the time and it never has any of the programs they advertise on the channels. They play the same songs every day, no different than the regular radio.

    When I went to cancel, I had to speak to two different people. They harass you constantly with offers. They want to know the reason you won't accept. My final rep was named Rohit **, and after I asked four times for them to cancel, I had to explain I didn't appreciate the harassments and I'd be notifying my financial institution in the morning to cancel the service. Then they claimed it would be cancelled. I saw their latest deal is three months for $1, so apparently I'm not the only one who thinks the service is garbage. Good luck to anyone who takes a risk on this. And even greater luck when you try and cancel.

    Sirius XM is a satellite radio service that isn't everything it's cracked up to be. My experience was that it was expensive and the service tended to cut out quite frequently. The cutting out was very frustrating and was quite dangerous while I was driving. When I tried to cancel they made me a ridiculously low offer so I agreed to another 12 months. When their rate tripled, I tried to cancel once again and they made it very difficult. It took me three phone calls and way too much time to get away from them.

    Next question. How do I cancel my account when I can't actually get into my account to do anything useful and can't provide the right info to an agent? Sounds like I'm going to have Sirius XM for the rest of my life... And that really sucks because Sirius will only play for 20 minutes at a time on Roku ever since the most recent update. It then exits out to the home screen. Then, when I go back into the channel, whatever I was listening to isn't in my "recent" list so I have to waste a bunch of time searching for the channel. By the time my program resumes, I've missed a few minutes. And I have to do this 3 times an hour all day long. (I have Sirius playing while I work.) NO THANK YOU. Please fix it.

They then claim the service is canceled, even send a confirmation, and continue to bill you after you requested immediate cancellation. They do so by keeping the service active without your consent (this is where language barrier "helps" them, because these agents mostly speak in a manner impossible to understand). So you have to call them again.... and again...the same rigmarole and the painful process of cancellation, each call lasts 15 minutes or longer, and you are told your service is canceled, only to be billed again!!

When I tried correcting the mistake (3 days of trying), the Sirius rep told me that they could offer a 3-month extension for a SMALL FEE!! Also, I would have to go back to the dealership to correct the problem. The dealership pointed me in the direction of the manufacturer.

She advised that the LIVE TRAFFIC would still work (after all, the manufacturer of the vehicle PAID Sirius XM for this service already). My LIVE TRAFFIC subscription, however, was discontinued as well. This LIVE TRAFFIC part of the subscription was discontinued (without my permission) and I was advised that they need to look into this. I have YET to receive any information or follow-up and have decided to ask for BBB to help me out here. The manufacturer paid for a subscription and SIRIUS XM decided to cancel what I should have two more years worth of subscriptions for (again, it has been offered at the time of my purchase, for five years).

    The resolution is simple, either REFUND me two year's worth of subscriptions that was paid for by the manufacturer of my car (actually paid by me because the price of the vehicle, I'm sure includes this subscription price as well) OR reactivate my LIVE TRAFFIC subscription and ADD another two months for service that I was not getting these past few months.

    I have been a customer of Sirius XM for 11 years and my daughter and husband have accounts also. In the past I have always been able to negotiate a fair price and in the past was able to avoid the automatic billing that incurs a increase in the monthly fee. 2022 they automatically billed my credit card even though in 2021 when I renewed I said on the recording they didn’t have the authorization to automatically bill. I have always opted to pay for the full year and you would think as a business they would appreciate this but they didn’t. I called. Was able to get a fee of $70.33 which was supposed to include the credit of the automatic billing. When my statement came both charges the negotiated fee on 1/3/22 plus the automatic billing on 1/1/22 were on the statement.

    I called and I’m sure because of the hour it was an overseas representative and his demeanor was poor. He chose not to acknowledge that the fee wasn’t reversed on my credit card and insisted that I was supposed to pay $90 instead of $70 which was not what my statement from Sirius depicts. Bottom line he was only willing to take off $10 acting as if he was doing me a favor when in fact as a company they were being dishonest and misleading. I had to cancel service because of the customer service or lack thereof. They were sued in the past. It’s probably going to happen again. We need a company to come on the scene and that will offer fair honest prices for satellite radio.

    Sirius XM is an impossible company to deal with. They offer you a deal for a year of satellite radio, then at the end you get an automatic renewal notice with a doubling (or more) of the price. The only way to cancel is to call them. If you sign into your online account, they make you call to cancel. So you have to wait 30-60 minutes to get a person that can cancel your account. You can NOT delete your credit card info from their system, so if you don't cancel they automatically charge you with the higher price. When you finally get a live person (if you're lucky) they make you go thru a sales pitch and eventually lower the price to what you paid the prior year. This is clearly illegal activity and the states should sue this company.

    Was given a Radio as a gift. Hooked it up, within a week or so the antennae starts to go out. Looked it up and many other users have stated that this happens and Sirius should fix the issue. Well, I called customer service. I was actually returning a call. They wanted me to pay my monthly payment. And I was already on canceling the account but Customer service person said they would send me a replacement radio within 10 business days. So I made my payment and waited..and called and waited. To eventually be told that they didn’t say that and no radio was to be sent and to return the radio to place of of purchase..

    For me this was a bad experience. The staff at Sirius radio phone operators are scammers and not professional at all. The radio itself comes with a very cheap antenna that goes out and you are expecting buy another one. As a 48 driver…I value service. Being lied to is the very thing I do not stand for. And to think I was only doing a follow up on the radio I was told to be expecting.

    In July 2021, I purchased a 1-year subscription to SirusXM radio. In November I began getting calls about payments. Today 12-21-21, I wasn't able to take the call but tried reaching out to them a few minutes later. Once I got through the automated process and was able to speak to someone, I was informed that my account was past due in the amount of $23.95 and the card I have on file could not be charged. So after some lengthy discussion the rep informed me that I was being billed every month and I was delinquent for my last month payment. The fact that I bought a package in July was totally overlooked. So I requested to cancel my subscription and then I was offered monthly payments as low as $9 per month. Still I requested to cancel my subscription.

    I asked what happened to the payment I made in July and the call was disconnected. My advice to anyone considering SirusXM as an option, do not fall for the offers because they will begin charging your card for monthly payments for an amount that wasn't agreed upon and the 3, 6, 9 month trial period that they try to offer is not worth what you stand to lose in the future. Also they will argue with you that YOU misunderstood the terms of the offer.

    Anyone considering the purchase of a SiriusXM radio needs to be aware that the company WILL NOT honor their warranty. When I purchased a brand new Tour portable radio and it proved defective (it could not be activated, even after spending more than 2 hours communicating with their technical support department), the warranty department would not honor their stated return/repair policy.

    First, they stated that the portable radios do not have a product warranty -- WRONG! The warranty that came with the product does indeed say that there is a 90-day warranty. Second, then they stated that since I purchased the item from a vendor (which, of course, they encourage by allowing other stores and car gadget businesses to sell SiriusXM products), the warranty was invalid -- they only provide a warranty for items purchased directly from SiriusXM. The written warranty does not include any such limitation. With customer service like this, it's easy to see why more and more people are avoiding their business and opting for other music streaming services instead.

Decided that I wouldn't start paying for a subscription because I usually listen to music on my phone, and when I don't the local stations are just fine. When it came to the end of my trial, I received several letters in the mail, telling me to subscribe. As well as emails and text messages. I don't recall ever giving my email or phone number to them. And finally they called me, and every time I said "no", the customer service rep would say something around the lines of "I'm sorry you feel that way, but would you consider signing up for ______ at a reduced price? .... I'm sorry you feel that way, but have you considered _________? We have a deal we can offer you with _____."

    I finally just hung up on him. Since then, I have been getting regular letters in the mail from them, all saying "do not discard, electronic service requested". None of them have a return to sender envelope inside, so there's no way to make them stop sending more.

    I have never gone through more difficulty cancelling a service than I encountered with this company. You can not cancel through your account by simply selecting that you want to cancel. Once you select that you want to cancel your account, they put you on another screen and tell you you can call and speak with a rep, chat with a rep online to discuss your plan and other options, or transfer your service to a new device. Spent 25 min on hold on the chat service waiting for a rep after being told it would be about a 10 min wait. Logged off and back on immediately and instantly got a rep. I believe the initial wait is meant to make the customer get so frustrated that they just “change their mind about cancelling”. Once you get a rep they won’t let you go on (completely refuse) unless you tell them why you want to cancel.

    I told them I no longer have the vehicle. They then asked for the information on my new vehicle so they could transfer the service for me. I told them, "No - please cancel my plan." They then told me details of other plans and “discounts” available to me. Again I told them, "No, cancel my plan." They then told me I can cancel my car service and keep online streaming for “x” dollars. I told them I don’t want any of their services, none, please cancel my account. After more back and forth and discussion of offers, they finally cancelled my account - or they said they did anyways and gave me a cancellation code. We will see if it is really cancelled or not in a few days.

    I would never subscribe for their services again - ever! If they simply had the option to cancel my account after logging in by clicking a “cancel account” button that would save customers and frustration!

Was told ok they would cancel it. Lady told me at the end of the 3 months they would start charging me $21.99 per month. I told her know because I was only paying $9.70 a month on a prior contract. She told since it was a new vehicle and on a 3 months trial they couldn't do that. So you see I still had several months left on my previous contract which they would not honor. I told them to cancel at the end of the 3 months trial because I would not pay $21.99 a month. Instead of cancelling on 10/03/21 after my 3 month free trial they cancelled it today 7/6/21. I will never use their service again, the lady I spoke with was very rude.

    I tried to cancel at the end of my term (1 month to go), they came back with an offer and I said it was too much. They canceled me on the spot, even though I wanted to go to the end of the term. They said it was too late to undo the cancellation on this term, and came back with a different offer that was higher than the one I was given in the first place. What a joke.

    This company will tell you whatever is necessary to get your credit card number and make a sale. For 7 years now we have renewed our "contract" or continued service. We have come to learn that SiriusXM keeps your credit card on file. Upon your renewal date (and without prior warning) you are charged typically around $400. When you call to cancel the service and request a refund, they always refund. They will then sell you a promotion. We agreed to a promotional rate of $77.00 for a year's subscription, and paid in full, with their promise that our credit card would not be kept on file. Come to find out, they did keep our credit card number on file.

    We have a recording of the phone conversation where they specifically stated they would not keep our credit card on file. We called to have our credit card removed, they said they were unable to remove our credit card. We have terminated the service. No longer wish to do business with a company that will tell you one thing to get your money, and then not keep their end of the negotiation. If you have an account with them, be on the look out for very high charges to your card. A complete rip-off since if you cancel they will offer you a significantly reduced rate.

    Has anyone had difficulty in cancelling SXM Sirius Radio. Since COVID, I have not been driving much so I cancelled my subscription with them last year. Today I noticed my bank account was charged $128.72 by Sirius. So I called. The lady kept saying it’s an auto renewal and good until Nov 2021. I kept saying cancel it. What is interesting that’s not even a full year subscription amount. Is this a tactic to put a bogus charge on your account to make you call and then try to sell you on keeping it.

    Anyway I asked for my full refund and to speak to a U.S. supervisor when she was done doing the refund. SHE HUNG UP ON ME! Not sure if it was a Philippines or India call center, but Sirius needs to stop these unfair sales tactics. I totally cancelled my subscription last year and even removed my credit card number. Obviously removing it did no good. If you want music, download it from Amazon to your phone and play it in the car. Sirius is a rip off and difficult to cancel.

    After my promotion of paying $35+ for a 6 month term, I was charged $123. Fine, my mistake I didn’t try to cancel in time. However, upon speaking to the customer care representative, I always informed that this amount was for a full year. I set a calendar reminder the minute I got off the phone with her to be sure to either cancel, or call and negotiate before this year term was up. Then, 6 months later, to my surprise, they charge me another $123 and tried telling me that I signed up for a 6 month period. Basically in hopes that I have forgotten over these 6 months. So I just cancelled immediately and at least they refunded me some money.

    I don’t like their business tactics and will never give them a dime again. In addition, they are always trying to upsell you with “promotions” and find it hard to get them off the phone. Kind of annoying and the fact that they are basically trying to call me a liar, sealed the deal for me to never return. They should check their recordings and see that the year was verified on the phone call at least 2 times.

    I had a trial subscription for my 2019 vehicle, which was totaled April 2020 after my husband ran into a concrete wall (due to a deviation in the concrete after construction on the road he was on, which wasn’t marked). My husband was hospitalized and underwent reconstructive surgery and rehabilitation to be able to walk again. Meanwhile, my “trial” subscription ended, for which I received NO NOTICE, and began billing to my credit card on a car that was sitting in a junkyard. Obviously we weren’t keeping tabs on this, we were concerned with other things. The account continued to bill for the last 8 months, a full subscription fee of $27/mo. When I reached out to customer service to see if we could credit my new car’s radio after this trial ends, they said they would only be able to credit ONE MONTH. One. Month.

    Ok, we’ve been subscribers since 2006 and they’re willing to throw away our 15-year relationship over an 8-month credit I requested, after providing them the extenuating circumstances, and would only credit one month (which they refunded anyway when I called customer service and cancelled the service because the chat agent didn’t do it, despite requesting it).

    Aside from the Six Flags subscription I regret ever signing up for, this is the worst experience I’ve had with billing after a subscription wasn’t or couldn’t be used. In fact, I had to register for an account to access the information for the radio they were billing me for on the same day I requested the credit. So, obviously I didn’t access the service. I’ll be filing a FTC complaint as well as a BBB complaint after posting this. SiriusXM already had to pay for deceptive trade back in 2014. I guess they didn’t learn their lesson.

However, they do not mention that you only can have it in one car, for the second one they offered me a "special offer" that costs 3 times what I paid for the 1-year subscription. On top of that, according to them, my car cannot tune all radios due to a bandwidth limitation my car has (although it's a 2019 Ford Edge top of the line). But it was never mentioned that possibly I could not have full access using the full access package. Then, I found out that I was supposed to have a 5-year free trial for the traffic and travel service. But, of course, there is a "but"... it was supposed to be through the dealer and there's nothing they can do to help me with.

    I had a one-year subscription to Sirius XM that was due for auto renewal on January 24, 2021. I decided that I was no longer interested in this service and that I would cancel the subscription renewal. To ensure the automatic renewal was canceled and in accordance with the contractual agreement I entered into with Sirius XM when I paid for my one-year subscription I contacted Sirius XM on January 21, 2021. It is impossible to cancel such subscription renewals via online accounts so I was forced to enter into the Byzantine world of Sirius XM customer service. Attempts to cancel the subscription renewal by telephone were unsuccessful as I was unable to communicate with the customer service representatives. I spoke English and they spoke…. something other than English. I then attempted to bring the cancellation process to fruition by customer service chat.

    After an inordinate amount of time waiting to be serviced, I was finally able to carry out my request by chat with a customer service representative, Caren. Despite my repeated insistence that I wanted to cancel my RENEWAL but not the remaining paid days on my existing subscription Caren continually presented me with alternatives to cancellation. The final offer presented to me was for a one-year renewal at a significantly reduced fee compared to the scheduled renewal fees of $21.99 per month. I stated, ad nauseum, that I WAS NOT interested in the renewal and simply wanted to cancel the auto renewal.

    After presenting the final offer the representative asked permission to submit the charge to my credit card of record. I responded "NO, please quit wasting my time and cancel my renewal". The representative then asked "Is this not a good promotion for you? It is only $75.43 for the whole year until 1/22/2022". I responded "Do I need to write slower of use smaller word? NO".

    I have the entire chat documented by screen shots. I specifically stated in several posts that I did not want to renew, that I did not want to have my credit card charged and that I did not want to be cheated out of the active days remaining on my PAID subscription. I even told Caren that I was going to remove the payment source from my account to guarantee no unapproved charges would be incurred. Apparently, this customer service representative could not read English, was stupid, a liar and thief or some combination of all.

    I insisted I be provided a confirmation number for my requested cancellation and was assured that everything I had requested had been achieved. Immediately upon ending the chat session I logged into my Sirius XM account to remove my payment source and saw that the $75.43 unapproved charge was now reflected on my billing summary. The payment source I had previously listed was a debit card and I immediately checked by bank account and discovered the $75.43 was listed as a pending charge, causing an overdraft with this account.

    This was not a misunderstanding as I clearly and continually responded with "NO" when asked if I wanted to renew. When the Caren specifically asked permission to debit my card of record I responded "NO. I am not interested. Please quit wasting my time and cancel my renewal". The entire correspondence is documented. I was not asking for a refund after failing to call in a timely manner and cancel my renewal. I called four days prior to the scheduled renewal. Accordingly, Sirius XM had NO legal, moral or fiduciary right to take funds from my account. This was theft. I specifically refused permission to access my payment source. I specifically declined to renew my subscription. I specifically stated, more than once, I simply wanted to cancel my renewal and DID NOT want my credit/debit card of record accessed.

    I immediately called the customer service line for Sirius XM and initially got the typical obfuscation regarding the need to contact Sirius XM in a timely manner to cancel my subscription. I made it clear that this was not a case of buyer's remorse but a complaint regarding the theft of money from my account. This representative did effect the cancellation of the renewal and the refund of MY money. My Sirius XM online account immediately reflected this in my billing information but that DID NOT put the stolen money back into the account from which it had been criminally removed.

    The representative then gave me the pro forma response regarding the 5-8 business days needed for the "refund" to be received and the stolen funds put back into my account. I stated this was an unacceptable timeline and that it was not a "refund" but the return of stolen funds. What occurred was a criminal act on the part of Sirius XM, not an unfortunate misunderstanding or clerical oversight. Their representative, acting as an agent of Sirius XM, illegally and criminally removed funds from my account after expressly and unequivocally being refused permission to do so.

    I asked to speak with a supervisor and was put in contact with "Mark". I had to waste additional time bringing Mark up to speed regarding the situation. My time is valuable as well and my Kafkaesque plunge into the surreal world of Sirius XM's customer service dimension wasted a great deal of my time and patience. Mark once more explained Sirius XM's pro forma spiel of needing 5-8 business days to effect the "refund" of my money.

    I interrupted Mark to explain the I was not ASKING for anything. I did not want a reduced subscription or any consideration from Sirius XM. I was not asking for a refund. I was DEMANDING the immediate return of the funds stolen from me. I insisted it be referred to as such and that in my opinion Sirius XM had committed a criminal act. I requested Mark not use the word refund regarding this situation or I would once again interrupt him and explain the difference between a refund and the return of stolen funds. MY funds, not Sirius XM's. Mark said he was going to escalate my complaint and that he would strive to ensure the return of my funds by end of business yesterday, 1/21/2021. To be fair, he made no absolute promise that such an expedited return could be effected but he hoped this timetable would come to fruition.

    It is now nearly end of business on 1/22/2021 and the funds stolen from my account by Sirius XM have still not been returned. It is not a matter of whether the, hopefully, temporarily inaccessible funds will cause me serious problems. It may but I would be upset even if this were not likely. It is the principle that an agent of Sirius XM felt they could illegally access my account, steal funds and remained unscathed by their criminal actions. I use those inflammatory words purposely as I have the evidence to prove their validity.

    Sirius XM's customer service department is at least partially staffed by liars and thieves. It is not my intent to paint all Sirius XM staff and employees with a broad brush as I am sure my characterization does not apply to many. Nevertheless, at least one committed a criminal act and stole funds from me and as an agent of Sirius XM it follows that Sirius XM committed a criminal act and stole funds from me. Such acts reflect badly on Sirius XM and failure to ensure such acts do not occur in the future would be tantamount to Sirius XM suborning dishonest and illegal activities simply for the purpose of increasing illicit subscriptions and the resultant profits.

    The first time I cancelled 10 years ago I felt the frustration that many of the reviewers on this site have shared. I found the following approach to be the most efficient and least emotionally impacting. I have found that the best time to do this is when occupied with another task (working out, the dishes, Amazon shopping) it is less painful.

    Once I get through to the customer "service" rep, I just repeat the words "Please Cancel My account". Now starts the dance. The CS Rep will now go through their script, presenting options. When any sentence ends with a question, I repeat again "Please Cancel My Account". EVENTUALLY, they will finally put you on hold for 10 mins while they do the cancelation. I always do this with my happy voice, understanding that the person on the other end of the phone is just an employee of a company who does not understand customer service.

    Side Note: If you really are just looking to lower your subscription cost, this method works well too. Each time I have canceled I have been offered lower and lower subscription rates, until it gets down to around $5/month. Just keep canceling up until you get an offer you like, and then take it. Often it is a 3 month rate, and you have to do it again in 3 months. I always put an appointment on my calendar to remember to call them and do the cancel dance. Hence, why I have done this so many times.

They started calling me day and night, even Sundays, for payment. I requested they cancel and was told once they couldn't cancel until I paid what I was behind. I refused and requested cancellation first to no avail. Call after call I requested cancellation. Nothing. Called today and they sent me a request for text message. Over text, I requested cancellation and, after nearly 2 hours texting with gaps in between, they keep telling me they have specials though I keep saying I only want to cancel. They are refusing to cancel my subscription but keep charging my account. This is predatory behavior. I would advise anyone to steer clear of Sirius.

    Signed up again after being off for 20yrs. Followed all instructions perfectly, radio wouldn't work. Called tech support-- took WAY longer than it should have to get me up and running. They gave me a link to reset my radio if there were any problems. Then the first time I shut my car off, it wouldn't work. Used the reset link-- it worked. The NEXT time I shut my car off it wouldn't work again. I signed up because I wanted to use it on a special weekend trip. After a few more times of this same cycle, it said I had HAD USED ALL MY RESETS!!!! So I did my whole trip with no music that I was paying for. THEY HAVE NO TECH SUPPORT ON WEEKENDS. So, Monday, I get home from work, call tech support at 5:13pm. THEY HAVE NO TECH SUPPORT EVENINGS!!! So, if you happen to work for a living, you can't get tech support!!!! Completely LAME company. I will tell my 2200 Facebook friends not to bother with XM.

    I wanted to turn on Sirius Radio in our vehicle. I called and paid $76 plus dollars but they were not able to turn it on... After 3 days on the phone (with people hard to understand) still no radio. They charged my credit card and that upset me. I called again and they told me that I would have to go to the Dodge dealer to have the module updated on the vehicle at no cost to me as Sirius has a contract with each dealer...NOT TRUE. It costs a whopping $139.00 to have this done. I told them I wanted a full refund of my money. They told me that would take up to five business days. UNACCEPTABLE. Poor business model. They would have to give me a year free if they want me for a customer. Sad that they don't even use American workers for the business, all the calls were from outside the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. SHAME ON SIRIUS RADIO.

    Totally rotten customer service...this company is run by monkeys. I have been a customer for 5 years, though I seldom used it except on long road trips. Yesterday, I got an email notice that the credit card on file for my automatic payment had expired. Fine. I went online, logged in, and updated my CC info. It never gave me a confirmation of the change, so I tried to confirm through the "chat" feature. It said that I had no account, and asked me to fill out a form with my vehicle ID or radio ID. I tried this 3 times, and finally asked to speak to a person. After being informed that I was Number 22 in line, I finally decided "This isn't worth it". So after 5 years, I am a FORMER customer. These idiots don't deserve your money. I'll use my phone bluetooth and YouTube from now on.

    Several days ago I wanted to add some Christmas channels onto my list. I clicked on List and realized that all the channels were gone. Strange, but ok, maybe I just need to refresh my radio. I tried, and nothing happened, so I tried again. I waited 24 hours and tried again. Nothing. So after a tiring day of work, I got home and made the phone call. First, I spoke to a woman with an extremely heavy accent. She told me to get in the car and she would refresh the signal. It didn't work. Of course I told her I already did this twice, but apparently she thought she would have the magic touch.

    We went to some advanced troubleshooting (all of which I already did). She made me check my AM/FM radio to see if it worked. It does. Finally she told me that the problem wasn't on my end (no kidding), and to wait 24 hours and refresh it again. I told her I am not doing that since I already refreshed it three times. At this point she told me there is nothing they can do, and to bring it to the dealership because it's probably an issue with my radio. I reminded her that she just told me it was a problem on their end and not my radio. She returned to reading her script, and I got annoyed and hung up.

    I went inside and called again. This time I was connected to a man with a very unintelligible accent and a terrible connection. He couldn't hear me and kept telling me it's too noisy in my house. I told him I'm alone with my cat, and I don't even have the tv on. I hung up and decided to try again. This time I got another person who I couldn't understand. After giving all my info again, and explaining my problem again, he tried to sell me more stuff. I was becoming a bit agitated and told him I called because I am having a problem, not because I want to be sold more products. He told me he would have to escalate my problem to the "Advanced Tech Support" department and would transfer me.

    I was pretty hopeful at this point. "Robert" answered, and amazingly, I could understand him pretty well. Unfortunately, after giving Robert all my info again, he suddenly disappeared, and the line went dead. Third try. By now, I've been on the phone for at least an hour and a half, and I'm starting to get hangry (it's dinner time). A woman answered this time with the heaviest accent of all. She took all my info again, and immediately tried to sell me more stuff. I explained to her that why would I want more channels when I can't even listen to any of the ones I'm paying for now, and no one can help me! She didn't seem to make the connection and returned to reading her script. I told her to cancel my subscription. She told me she would have to ask her supervisor if I could cancel.

    This is when the crazy came out. I became rude and started yelling to cancel my subscription right now! Her answer was to again apologize for my inconvenience and try to sell me more products at a reduced rate. I totally lost it at this point. I screamed "Cancel my damn subscription now!!" She finally relented. I got a confirmation number, but I am fairly certain I will continue to be charged. I enjoyed listening to my news channels, and I will miss them, but I would rather listen to the Kars 4 Kids jingle on repeat for 24 hours straight than to have to deal with these people ever again.

    I have had Sirius since I bought my car and I am now canceling! Customer service is a joke! They couldn't tell me why my bill went up but they wanted me to wait so they could repeat themselves a few times! Finally I said to cancel my service but wait the customer service rep says! I asked for a supervisor! I have now been on hold for over 30 minutes! The website is so screwed up I can't get logged in! Do Not Bother With Sirius xm radio! They only want your money for absolutely no follow through of how or why they are charging you more!!! I have been on hold now for over 35 minutes!!!!

    Be very careful with SiriusXM. They automatically renew and charge you even if you cancel. Very poor access to customer service. They are not willing to provide any refunds. Once you are in you can't seem to get out.

    They have designed their process to make it impossible to unsubscribe without canceling your credit card. You have to call support, they can't help you but offer to transfer you to loyalty, then call never gets answered. Feels criminal. Don't use this company.

    There is something wrong with this company. They keep sending me emails. They say my account is overdue, but they don't show the balance. I have asked them a number of times for an invoice so that I can pay them and bring the account up to date. I have replied to the emails and I have filled out a Help form on their website. They seem to ignore my simple request for an invoice and keep sending emails full of other garbage. I believe this is one of those cases where they will start adding interest to the account because it is overdue and I will end up with some crazy big bill. I cannot pay them because I have no idea how much I owe them and they refuse to tell me.

    Like virtually all the reviews, I was invoiced for a closed account! 6 months after I closed it, they billed my credit card $116.02. When I called, they told me that the account was only suspended for 6 months - thus the renewal! Not true. I told the agent when I CANCELLED that it was a convertible that I don't drive in winter, and wouldn't be driving in summer 2020 due to covid-19. So, the middle of October they bill me for 6 months. They didn't send me any information that the account had been reactivated - I guess they hope that people won't notice the credit card billing. When I called, she initially processed a refund for 5 months. I told her that I wanted a full refund! I hadn't ordered it, I hadn't used it. She said I should get a full refund within 3 to 5 business days. Here's hoping.
